Do a search and you'll find many stories of people getting screwed over by them. I wouldn't recommend doing business with them.

Before you buy anything from any vendor you should check the transactions forum. It's there to protect you from poor service, unscrupulous vendors, and scams. Now if you do go on there set aside some time to read all the negative posts about CM. There are scores. There are NO positive posts regarding CM. They are the poster boys for "unscrupulous vendor".
Do not order from CM or you'll be sorely disappointed. And, furthermore, they also go by Modern Gen Auto. Same company, same poor business policies and scams.

Thank you very much, guys!! I thought I remembered some bad comments. I'm looking for some OEM LS7 coil covers. So I called around to Summit, then Jegs-NEITHER has any. But JEGS told me Corvette Mods is listed as having some in stock. I was going to call them. Not now!!! LOVE this forum

I use them from time to time for small ticket items (emblem blackouts, interior bits), but wouldn't trust them for high value parts.

I wouldn't give them or RPI a dime of my money if they were the last two companies on earth. I'd sooner set my car on fire and get a bus pass.

Wow Stingroo!! If I wasn't convinced before, I am now!!! I'm having a hard time finding OEM LS7 coil covers, and it seems CM has purchased a large inventory of them. I have never used 'Flea Bay', and that appears to be one of the main sources of inventory, so.......

Honestly, as a buyer, eBay is perfectly fine. They are so pro-buyer that they'll practically bend over backwards to fix any issue you have or refund you... often to the dismay of sellers.

Honestly, eBay is a MUCH better option. One of two things happens when you order from CM, 1: You never get what you ordered, or it shows up many months later or 2) you get your order, but it doesn't fit/function as advertised. They have the best prices on lots of things, but it's super easy to offer the best price if you never deliver the order. RPI is SLIGHTLY better than Corvette mods. They have no customer service at all, and it will take months to get your order, but at least what you eventually get is usually pretty decent (although if it isn't you're SOL).
